The Indian Army, Wednesday, paid a poignant tribute to Colonel MN Rai, the braveheart who laid down his life in the line of duty in Kashmir yesterday – 24 hours after he was awarded a Republic Day gallantry medal.

Taking strong exception to an NIA report against Delhi Police's Special Cell, the government has indicated tough action on delinquent officers who had allegedly "framed and fabricated" terror charges against a Kashmir resident returning from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday expressed happiness over indications that the Centre would take action against some Delhi Police officials who allegedly filed a fabricated case against Liyaqat Shah, labelling him as a terrorist.

NIA opposed the bail plea of suspected Hizbul militant Liyaqat Shah, who was arrested for allegedly conspiring to carry out terror attacks in the national capital, in a Delhi court which allowed it to take his DNA samples.

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) may not oppose bail application of suspected Hizbul Mujahideen militant Liyaqat Shah, who was arrested by Delhi Police for his alleged role in a conspiracy to carry out terror attacks.

Suspected Hizbul militant Liyaqat Shah approached a special NIA court seeking bail in a case of alleged conspiracy to carry out terror attacks in Delhi, claiming that no concrete evidence had been found against him during probe.

Suspected Hizbul militant Liyaqat Shah was today remanded in judicial custody till May 13 by a Delhi court after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said that he was not required for further custodial interrogation.

Suspected Hizbul militant Liyaqat Shah Thursday alleged in a court here that he has been beaten up and tortured by the officials of special cell of Delhi Police during his custody following his arrest.
